Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge

The writing is REALLY hard to stay focused on. Which I think is more to the fact that it’s based in early London so the the way the talk is very different. Maybe if I had more time to read this slowly I would like it, but right now I’m finding myself not looking forward to reading it.

Really, really, really slow. Not that creepy either.
